(You may know it best via Tight Fit's version, but there are other ones, including this one by The Nylons.)

It managed to make me laugh several times, which is some achievement after the day I've had. Five stars and a prestigious HStorm "pat-on-the-head-for-being-such-a-classy-songwriter-and-polished-part-time-gameshow-critic" award.

Taikabow!

Or in other words.

"A Very LOVELY piece of Work Drassil."  ;D

I like the new songs a lot. I've written a reworking titled 'The Ogre Sleeps Tonight', which I'll be posting at some point.

In other words, now:

In the dungeon, the scary dungeon

The ogre sleeps tonight

Velda's shooting, and Olaf's looting

And Motley's taken fright

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh

In the throne room, the spacious throne room

The wizard sleeps tonight

A spider's crawling, a goblin's mauling

And Festus wants a bite

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh

Hush my Melly, don't turn to jelly

The monsters sleep tonight

Mogdred's quiet, the skulls won't riot

Don't fear the cavernwights

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh

Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh...

Is that OK?

Quite right. Well done, Emii as well!

Applauds, then sits behind the sofa, ashamed of his own hideous lack of musical talent.

I don't know how. Much of the credit should go to Emii, for starting the thread in the first place. For anyone who is familiar with the play 'Assembly Women' by Aristophanes, I reworked the songs in that as well, for a filming project just over a year ago.

"I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away,

I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away..."

"The Ogre Sleeps Tonight"! How do you think some of these ones up, Drass?
